Chapter 94 You Are Enough

This time Gao Wen learned the previous lesson, he didn't dare to lose his mind, he didn't hear what was going on outside the window, and only concentrated on writing.

He attaches great importance to this county examination. The imperial examination is the only way out of the crisis he faces, and he cannot be careless.Even if you know that this article is copied, you will definitely pass the county test.

At the moment, I just write one character at a time, and I don't pay much attention to the art of calligraphy. I only write in neat pavilion style.

The so-called Guange style was called in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this kind of calligraphy existed from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was officially called Sanguan style in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

Naturally, the speed of writing an article with this kind of characters cannot be increased. It took almost an hour for Gao Wen to write an article of about [-] characters.During the period, candidates handed in papers one after another.Probably because the article was written too stinky, the low growls and curses of Diao Zhixian could not be heard from above, it was angry, disappointed, sad, and so on, completely disregarding the dignity of a county .

After finally finishing this article, Gao Wen put down his pen.Then he blew on the ink dripping manuscript.If you look closely, they are all the size of broad beans, with extremely neat strokes, as if they were just printed in a bookstore.

Forget it, there is not much time until the second release of cards and the end of the county test.

Gao Wen didn't delay, he stood up immediately and presented the paper to Diao Zhixian.The county examination can be judged in class. He attaches great importance to this examination, so naturally he can't wait for the results to be released in three days, and is eager to know the final result.

When the examination papers were delivered to Diaozhi County, Gao Wen's heart beat uncontrollably, and his calf was a little weak.

He laughed in his heart: Gao Wen, Gao Wen, in your previous life, from elementary school to university graduation, you have gone through countless exams, big and small, why are you so nervous today?Hey, when it comes to caring about things, I'm afraid it's true!
It must be hit, it must be hit!

In fact, Diao Hualong had been waiting for Gao Wen's examination paper for a long time.The county exam was coming to an end, and except for a few children in the exam room, all the candidates had already handed in their papers.As far as the papers he read, almost none caught his eyes.The anger and unwillingness in his heart have reached a critical point, and he is about to explode.

Gao Wen was the only person in the examination room who looked like a seed of reading, and he was also the only one worth looking forward to.

After receiving the paper, Diao Zhixian immediately looked down.At the beginning, I still looked at ten lines, but gradually slowed down, and in the end, I broke down word by word and savored carefully.

Those small mung bean eyes were even more radiant, as if they were real.

Diao Hualong couldn't tell whether Shujishi's articles were good or bad.

As far as Wang Fen, the original author of this article, is concerned, although he is not well-known in history, he was a prominent figure in the stereotyped literary world in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Named as "Must Selected Collection of Mingwen", it became very popular for a while.

His writing is graceful and gorgeous. He was once famous from Fang Bao, the master of Tongcheng School, and a generation of Wen Zong, and became an irreversible teacher with him.He has a solid foundation in Confucian classics and ancient prose, and he has a very thorough understanding of the ancient prose of the Tang and Song Dynasties.From the beginning of the writing, the length of the essay is varied, the meaning of the writing is ancient and meaningful, the discussions are vertical and horizontal, and there is a majestic spirit.

It can only be said that he was born in the wrong age, in the early Qing Dynasty, which was a time when talents came out in large numbers, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Gu Tinglin, Wu Weiye... the stars were shining, under their light, Wang Fen's talents were naturally recognized Completely covered up, overshadowed.

But the works of this kind of character, if placed in this era, are naturally a first-class master.

Moreover, this Wang Fen is from Changzhou, Suzhou Prefecture.Diao Hualong, magistrate of Zhuanglang County, is also from Jiangnan.Knowledge, scriptures, and the style of composition are all inherited in one continuous line and have their own origins.

They are all southern scholars, and Gao Wen's composition is also the technique that Jiangnan scholars are best at. Every word and sentence, it is almost written in Diao Hualong's heart.

Today's exam questions were drafted by Diao Zhixian. In private, he also tried to make one himself.Now that he saw Gao Wen's paper, it secretly matched his thoughts.Immediately, I felt like I had found a bosom friend, and they seemed to be doing better than me.Even the always arrogant Diao Hualong had to admit this.

Even better... Suddenly, Diao Zhixian took a breath of air.What kind of concept is this? I am already a Jinshi, and when I took part in the examination, I was born as a top three Jinshi.From this point of view, if this scholar surnamed Gao goes to take the general examination, he will at least be a second-class Jinshi.Maybe, Shujishi can also fight for it.

Talent, what is the most precious thing in my Ming Dynasty - talent!
Such a character, not to mention being famous all over the world, at least can be famous in Guanzhong. Why is he still unknown?

This is not normal.

Yes, to be able to train such a disciple must be a teacher from a famous school, who was carefully cultivated as a treasure by the school and family.Seeing that he is twenty years old, he should have a reputation as a scholar, or even a talent, so why can he take the boy's test now?
……

Thinking of this, Diao Zhixian was full of suspicion and surprised.

That's right, this situation is like seeing a person with top-quality equipment fighting monsters and leveling up in Novice Village in later generations of online games.

However, the strangeness in his heart was strange, Diao Hualong was still trembling with excitement, thinking to himself: It is my luck to co-author, even if other candidates in this county are rubbish, as long as there is such a person, I will earn back my face up.Just imagine, under the rule of this official, such a great talent was born, all the way to the entrance examination, the college examination, the township examination, the scholar, and the people are all the achievements of the county's education!
In this county test, it doesn't matter how bad other people's articles are.Only having such a talent is enough.

……

Putting it on the paper, Diao Hualong took another look at Gao Wen standing in front of him, who was neither humble nor overbearing, as if looking at an untapped jade.

After reading it for a long time, when Gao Wen's heart was shaking, Diao Zhixian suddenly picked up the pen and drew a circle on Gao Wen's paper, and then clicked again.

Gao Wen was startled: What did you doodle on the test paper, did I fail this test?
Next to him, Master Su, the owner of the courtesy house, hurriedly said: "Gao Wen, why don't you thank the county lord quickly, you have already been taken." The candidates who just took the exam were really incompetent, which made Master Diao furious.Master Su was standing beside him in a cold sweat. The new county magistrate was impatient and had a bad temper. He was not a good servant, and he didn't know how he would punish him after he came down.Now, finally there is someone who can see clearly in the examination room, and I can't help but feel a sense of relief.

Only then did Gao Wen rejoice, and hurriedly bowed down, thanking the county magistrate for his kindness.
